    Why Join BlindMansGFX.net?

    You can’t deny that there is a sad, growing trend among graphics sites these days. It seems as though nearly every graphics site uses a pirated version of IPB or VB along with a pirated skin. But sadly, the bad news doesn’t stop here. You see, most of these graphics sites aren’t actual “sites”. They’re just forums. That’s it. No way to access a database of tutorials and resources.

    Fortunately, there is BlindMansGFX.net! BlindMansGFX, or BMG for short, is one of the newer websites that contains a homepage with easy access to written and video tutorials and downloadable templates. BlindMansGFX.net also has its own custom forum skin, created by the owner himself. The site offers an abundance of resources for all types of artists, constantly adding to an ever-expanding database. All members are invited to contribute to the site, sharing new ideas, resources, and graphics of their own.

    If you want to take part in this revolutionary community, we welcome you to join us and help change the way the graphics world is viewed.


    Thanks for viewing! :)</div>

    I wish they would have got someone better for the web designing part, and also you mentioned the "Pirated Version" but I must say it would have been better if you would have found a old version of IPB like 1.3 (Free), PunBB even would have been better. All and All I enjoyed some of the tutorials. Some of them weren't written to well and others were a bit too basic. I will make a full review of this site later.

    Simply just scroll down to the bottom of the page, and next to 'quick theme' choose "New_Dark_BMG". Then hit "Change Theme"

    Hope you guys like it!

    Interesting name, but Snowy I would just get more active with more resources etc before you really push hard your website, because currently looking at it, it is empty and it is not like your board is the only Graphics one on the web.

    The skin is average, but I feel compared to other Graphics Forums, it is not as good as their skins.

    The board could have potential, so best of luck making it mate and I hope it gets really popular :P!

    This site is fantastic. Really nice people throughout the community. Snowy has worked his butt off to get BMG up again. I encourage you all to join and have a look around to see what it has to offer. :)

    The new skin is much better than the old one but I would try to get a good webdesigner to make you a template and a forum skin.

    Hey everybody,
    Just would like to let everyone know that our first SOTW will be starting this Friday! I thought that "credits", which is what most websites do, is very boring for SOTW prizes, and I'm looking for the community's suggestions. I believe in having the community be open about their opinion, so I invite you to register, if you already have not and post in our forums. More specifically, if you'd like to contribute to the SOTW suggestion thread, it is here.

    Thanks, and I hope to see you all on the forums! :)
    -Snowy
